Inside the Cabinet Room, Kellyanne Conway asked Nancy Pelosi if she had 'a direct response to the president' after he left. Pelosi replied: 'I'm responding to the president, not staff.' Said Conway: 'Really great, that's really pro-woman of you.'
Trump's angry walkout on Wednesday left behind a shattered bipartisan infrastructure effort and an escalation of tension between the president and the congressional Democrats investigating him. He barked at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for earlier suggesting he was involved in a"cover-up" and headed to the Rose Garden for an impromptu news conference in which he declared that he would not work with Democrats if they continue with their probes.
Long upset by the wave of Democratic investigations into his administration, Trump was incensed by reports Tuesday that some of his closest former aides, including ex-communications director Hope Hicks, for whom the president has long had a soft spot, were being subpoenaed to testify, according to three White House officials and Republicans close to the West Wing. The three spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations.
Senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway then whirled to Pelosi and asked if she had"a direct response to the president." Pelosi replied:"I'm responding to the president, not staff."
